Kenna must have had enough of the game of catch and I found her chatting with Grandpa Brett
When he was done chatting, Brett went inside and danced with Euan who had been dancing on his own because Greg was working on a painting wish
When Morna was done with her homework, she got to know her little sister
I heard a grunt and found that Euan had fallen over!
Cain and Niall were very late to dinner because they were woohooing! Brett didn't notice since he was eating his favourite meal
Fortunately Euan and Greg had finished skinny dipping when the girls came out to play catch!
I sent Brett fishing because he has a wish to catch 5 different fish locked in. Cain and Niall watched the stars nearby.
A much better activity for the girls to witness!
The boys had wishes to read pregnancy books. They must like the living chairs in the bedroom better than the sofa.
The girls were getting on famously! I wish I could see what secrets they are sharing when I am not controlling them!
I'd totally forgotten to tune training out!
Cain had no cravings so the family had crepes for breakfast.
Brett's waking wish was to water the plants.
Niall's waking wish was to hug Cain amorously In the background, Euan is taking care of his waking wish to prepare a meal using perfect ingredients.
Kenna didn't have a waking wish but Morna did and it was to play tag
Although Cain's waking wish was to fish, he also had a wish to spend §400 at the day spa. I sent him while Niall did the gardening.
I let Brett have another crack at painting a masterpiece and Greg's waking wish was to paint something brilliant.
Cain took the family car. It must be fast because I was surprised when his thumbnail showed he had arrived.
Kenna looked at her big sister for reassurance on her first day of school
Niall is a natural cook and his LTW is Culinary Librarian. He has a wish to level up in cooking locked in so I had him prepare stir fry for the evening meal.
When he was done he read a pregnancy book. He didn't manage to get his wish the day before.
While breaking space rocks, Euan rolled a wish to find a gem. What are his chances of finding one?
Once again, Brett didn't get his wish as his painting was only brilliant. Never mind, he's still with us. He chatted with Euan when he was done.
Because Niall was still reading, I let Cain have his waking wish when he got back from the spa.
Although Greg hadn't finished his painting, he had lots of empty wish slots, so I sent the oldies to the bowling alley.
When Niall finished reading the pregnancy book and Cain had a few fishing wishes under his belt, I sent them along as well.
Cain is the one with the backache, Niall!
Although I prefer they take care of their own romantic needs, I had Niall take care of Cain's backache.
When I checked on the oldies, Greg and Brett had finished their games and were chatting. They were asking each other what others were saying about them. It breaks my heart when Brett asks this
Niall had a wish to meet someone new so I had the boys introduce themselves to these handy sims.
When I checked on the oldies again, Euan was dancing and Greg and Brett were bowling again.
The pregnancy hormones took over and Cain interrupted Niall's chat.
When I saw the girls were about to come home, I sent the boys home as well.
Kenna came home with a wish to read the baking report in the paper. Fortunately she didn't roll a wish to sell baked goods although I imagine that will come if I have the girls work on their toy oven skills.
When Brett got home he made a beeline for the hot tub
While the girls were playing catch with their dads, Euan and Greg skinny dipped
Euan had a wish to catch a bug. I sent him to a nearby spawner. He missed!
I had a look around and there were no active spawners nearby so I teleported him so he could catch a butterfly.
I saw Kenna heading inside and thought she was going to the piano but she chose the drums.
The family were going to have Brett's favourite, stir fry, for dinner but Cain had a craving for cookies.
I had the girls work on their block table skills. Morna mastered it before too long.
Euan and Greg watched the stars
I had Brett empty the easel and he started a large painting. I hope it's not too ambitious although I have had a ghost finish a painting started in life before.
Cain and Niall watched the stars after skinny dipping
Niall was invited to Shirley Holloway's party. She is Cain's step-mother.
I decided to send the rest of the family when Josh arrived home from work because I thought he might like to see his granddaughters.
Everyone stayed outside!
When Cain chatted with his dad, he got hearts with Collin Frio. Collin is married and has three kids. I checked his gender preference and he is bi.
Brett rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend.
Euan was getting ready to relax but Greg got lost on the way. Niall was on his way to chat with him when Cain came in for a flirt.
Shirley watched the stars while her husband chatted with Brett! I sent the family home soon after this as it was getting late.
Sam and Fife arrived just as I was closing my game I will wake Brett when I load my save next
When Brett was fully rested, I sent him out to say hi to Fife Fife didn't look too impressed as he was about to fish.
He got over it quickly and went straight for woohoo!
They went for the outdoor shower and I was stopped dead in my tracks when I heard baby chimes! I paused the game and tried to decide if I should terminate the pregnancy or play it through and see if I got a ghost baby.
As soon as the deed was done, Fife wandered off so I sent Brett back to bed.
The drums are near Brett's bedroom and I heard Sam playing them when I sent Brett back to bed.
After haunting Fife made his way back to Brett's room although he didn't wake him
Cain was craving spaghetti.
Greg's waking wish was to hug Euan amorously and the girls had wishes to play tag with each other
Niall and Cain did the gardening.
I had Brett continue with his painting as he still hadn't got his wish to paint a masterpiece.
I let the girls play tag for a bit longer then sent them to the park.
Euan's waking wish was to spar with someone.
Niall's waking wish was to woohoo with Cain. I locked it in knowing they would take care of that themselves They chose the elevator.
When the boys were done woohooing, I had them join the girls at the park.
Euan was the only one with the skill to make Ambrosia. I found a deathfish in the treasure chest and there is always life fruit in the fridge.
I had him stop at the mixing stage so he could store it in the replicator. When that was done, I let him finish the cooking.
I zoomed back to the park and found everyone playing catch.
When Euan finished cooking, he went out to the board breaker. Greg was working on two painting wishes - one to reach level 8 and one to level up. He got both which triggered a wish to paint something brilliant. He also got that
I saw an NPC arrive at the park (I can see the park from the house) and checked to be sure he didn't try to talk to my sims. I also saw Mikezumi fishing over the road
I could see that Niall was planning a hard throw!
Cain saw it coming too!
"Careful! Baby on board!"
So what did Cain do?
Yep, they take their catch seriously!
Morna had a wish to catch a bug so I sent her to a nearby spawner.
It bit her! I had my volume up and the sound was quite scary!
While Morna was bug hunting, I sent Kenna over the road to meet Mikezumi
I couldn't find an active spawner nearby so teleported Morna to one behind the Science Facility. I had just reset the town during the night and that resets the spawners. I was lucky to find the two active ones I did.
When Morna got her wish I sent her to meet Mikezumi as well
I wanted Kenna to learn the fishing skill so I sent both of the girls. I could also keep an eye on Cain and Niall who were still at the park.
I checked Cain and saw that he was getting close to having the baby so I sent the boys home. He went into labor very soon after.
Niall's waking wish was to practise MA. He got his wish while Cain was having the baby. I found Niall training Brett and let them be since they were both happy. I had got a popup earlier than Brett had finished his painting and it was brilliant.
Not sure what hurts more - pushing out the baby or the hands through his stomach
Welcome Lachie He rolled Evil Genius and I decided to go with it
When Greg finished his painting he distracted Niall so that Brett could escape the weight machine
I should probably have given the boys a bedroom closer to the main house
Niall got his pre-age up snuggle
I forgot to take an after pic so you only get to see what I saw when Lachie first aged up I spruced him up of course!
Kenna seems to prefer the drums over the piano. I could give her a guitar and see if she likes that but might leave it until she is a teen.
Here's the handsome boy!
Brett wasn't feeling so good In case you didn't guess, I decided to go with the chance of a ghost baby. That was why Euan prepared the Ambrosia earlier in the day.
I found Euan dancing in his pajamas so I know what he had been up to. I changed his clothes with MC so I wouldn't disturb his dancing. Greg was in the hot tub.
Niall and Cain rocking the tent!
The camera was wrenched from my control Brett and Euan had only just filled their life bars, like Fife had. The game can be so cruel! I see others around town who are many days over He didn't even have a chance to eat his favourite meal
Greg accepted his fate.
Life goes on. The family's fun bars had taken a hit so I don't blame them for finding fun things to do after a death. Niall took Lachie for a stroll.
Morna played in the sandpit.
Cain and Kenna played catch.
Instead of having burgers, Greg's favourite, the family had Euan's favourite, cheesesteak. It is also Kenna's favourite.
Niall was too sad to eat
Niall and Cain watched the stars after dinner.
Niall got started on potty training Lachie.
Brett finally got his masterpiece!
Although he was tired, Lachie played with a toy. But not for long as I sent Cain in to get him settled for the night.
Just before midnight the game speed slowed down and my camera was pulled to Euan I was screaming at the game for taking two from me in one day!
I heard sobbing and saw that Brett was close enough to be woken by Euan's passing. The rest of the family missed it fortunately.
I thought Euan looked happy despite having died.
He went willingly. He probably wanted to join Greg
Beathan came just before I closed my game.
Brett was woken at around 4am to get his notice. I wasn't planning on elder pregnancies so he is missing a torso. At least his sleepwear has a pregnancy enabled bottom
Niall got Lachie up and ready for the day
Bodiless Brett was craving cookies. It's a good thing I couldn't see the cookies going through his body
Brett also had a wish to get a massage. Since that is a romantic interaction (very short-sighted in my opinion since backaches are experienced by single people as well), I was glad to see that I had at least one pregnancy enabled elder outfit when he spun into his clothes.
Morna's waking wish was to find a gem ... easy!
Kenna's waking wish was to have a tea party with her teddy
Cain and Niall did the gardening. I will have Morna plant some seeds when she becomes a teen.
The boys finished the gardening quickly and I found them flirting. I had to break them up because Lachie needed training and has only one day left as a toddler.
I sent the girls to the big park
Cain got first stroll. Niall was inside making more cookies to replace what had been eaten.
Gosh, he looks so much like Cain although I know he is a good blend when he grows up. It might just be the hair colour that gives me that impression.
When the cookies were made and Cain had had his stroll, I sent the boys to the park. Brett was still getting a massage and would join the family later. As soon as they arrived, Cain made a beeline for a mirror so he could gussy up. I had forgotten that flirty sims do this.
Niall had all the toddler training wishes so I let him do it.
Cain chatted with Brett when he arrived.
I saw that other sims had arrived at the park so I had the girls introduce themselves. Kenna introduced herself to Bert (Elspet's son) and Morna introduced herself to Bert's wife, Dianne.
Bert and Dianne's daughters, Melissa and Donna, were also there.
When the talking lessons were done, Niall got his stroll wish
I saw Kenna's fun bar going down and discovered that Dianne was tutoring her. Her face spoke volumes!
Elder and pregnant, Brett has still got it!
Once his stroll was done, I sent the grown ups home so Niall could finish off Lachie's potty training.
I sent the girls to see a movie.
When the potty training was done, Niall got started on the walking lessons. Cain got to empty the potty
Brett had been painting but Cain interrupted him to debate politics.
Here's a shot I don't have to censor!
I couldn't see anything but Cain obviously could
When Kenna got home she went straight to the piano. She didn't enjoy the chick flick.
Morna chatted with Niall when she got back. She did enjoy the movie.
Cain rolled a wish to visit the theatre. I knew if I teleported the boys they would have just enough time before Morna's birthday.
As soon as the boys got home, I had everyone gather around the cake.
She's got Cain's big jaw, but she is beautiful
I can't get used to the table being so empty
When Morna aged up, Niall rolled a wish to enrol her in an afterschool activity. While he was doing that, Cain filled Lachie's social bar
The boys had time to watch the stars before they, too, had their birthdays.
Brett finished another brilliant painting I think this one will go in the girls' room
Kenna mastered the block table skill while playing with her brother
Niall went first!
Pigtails!
Then it was Cain's turn.
When Brett finished his painting he went inside to dance
Cain got Lachie ready for bed
Morna talked about art with her grandpa
Euan and Greg visited. Euan arrived a few minutes before Greg so got the rocking chair.
Greg took it in his stride and danced instead
I heard another ghost arriving. It was John It will be fun to see what they get up to when I restart my game
Greg, Euan and John had arrived just before I closed my game for the night and when I loaded it today, Jordan arrived! It's been years since I had 4 ghosts arrive in one night!
Euan was still in the rocker and Greg was still dancing when I loaded my save and John had made his way to the basketball hoop.
When I checked on Euan and Greg again, Euan had been haunting in one of the bedrooms and Greg was dancing in a different position so had probably done some haunting of his own.
Greg checked on his brother, Brett
Euan trained Jordan on the weight machine!
Greg and John chatted
Niall got Lachie up and ready for his last morning as a toddler while Cain made the bed.
I dressed Brett on his way to breakfast because his floating head is a little disturbing He was craving grilled cheese
I saw the family had a negative moodlet from a smelly sim and realized it was Jordan who had passed them on his way to the shower. Euan must have trained him hard! I heard the shower breaking when he was done. At least Cain gained the handiness skill when he repaired it later in the morning
Niall's waking wish was to grow a perfect bell pepper plant.
Brett had a wish to get a massage so I sent him to the spa.
Morna's waking wish was to fish and Kenna's was to have a sleepover. I cancelled that and sent her fishing with her sister in the hope it would trigger a fish related wish.
Cain worked on the garden while Niall took Lachie for a stroll.
It annoys me when they won't take their eyes of a dead plant because I don't like to remove it until they do.
I aged Lachie up when he returned from his stroll.
Apart from the hair, it wasn't too bad!
But much better when I was done with him
Cain had been on his way to the board breaker when Lachie was having his birthday. I sent Lachie out to chat with him since he has a lower relationship with Cain than he does with Niall.
When Niall interrupted their conversation for some loving, I sent Lachie fishing.
Brett joined him at the fishing pond when he returned from the spa. He has a wish to catch 5 different fish locked in. Niall and Cain were entertaining each other
They went from the treehouse to the tent!
I had Brett empty the easel and he immediately started a new painting. He painted another masterpiece
I had Lachie distract his fathers before they found another woohoo location
Morna came home early as her after school class doesn't start until tomorrow. I was glad because she wanted to learn how to drive.
Cain's waking wish was to prepare a meal. I had him prepare some fish and chips, his favourite, for another time. The family has the culinary career fridge so their food never goes off
I'd sent Lachie over the road because he had several fish wishes and I couldn't be bothered replacing the spawner in the home pond. I could see Niall dancing through the window
Poor thing didn't get to dance long because Morna had finished her homework and asked him for driving lessons.
Morna got her licence in one go!
When Lachie got his fishing wishes, I sent him home and he asked Cain for a game of catch.
Be careful, Cain. This one is evil and might get you back one day!
When Brett finished his masterpiece he went inside to dance
When Morna got back from her driving lesson, I had her prepare a salad to get started on the cooking skill.
Naughty Lachie came inside to scare Grandpa Brett!
Kenna got home late because of Scouts. She did her homework while Morna worked on a wish to finish a book.
I had Brett teach Lachie a lesson
The family had hamburgers, Lachie and Niall's favourite, for dinner
Brett had just sat down in the rocking chair when Morna asked him to play catch. I was glad she did that because it makes me sad when he uses it.
Euan and Cain watched the stars
Kenna and Lachie played tag. I laughed when I saw Lachie pulled this face immediately after tagging Kenna
I found the boys watching the stars again when I followed the kids when they went to play catch.
I'd sent Brett to bed very early because I knew he would be up in the middle of the night. He went into labor just before I saved and closed my game at 3am.
Welcome Rory I didn't get my ghost baby but this boy will be beautiful
He arrived very hungry but otherwise in good shape
It's good to see Brett back in his usual (visible) sleepwear
Lachie's waking wish was to visit the park. Kenna didn't have a waking wish but rolled a wish to play tag with Lachie over breakfast. I sent them both to the park and both got their wishes
I had Morna plant some seeds to unhide the gardening skill she got from Scouts. There were only two plants so Niall did the gardening on his own.
I have no idea why, but Cain rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend when Rory was born.
After planting the seeds, Morna got her waking wish to fish
As soon as the waking wishes were taken care of, Rory was aged up. Random blonde hair is a definite NO!
I gave him Brett's hair colour with the Consort Hair Colour mod. I was happy to see it gave him Brett's original hair colour which isn't as washed out as his elder hair After looking at his original age up picture again, while typing my update, I realize that the hair might not be random after all. One of Brett's mothers had blonde hair as she was a gender swapped and tweaked version of my Spike sim. Still, I have no regrets as Fife had black hair and the chances of him fathering a blonde baby would be pretty slim.
After Brett filled his fun bar he got started on toddler skilling
I'd lost track of Cain and Niall. I know they had snuck a woohoo in but I was busy with Brett and Rory. I found them playing catch which was a good thing since Niall's waking wish was to play a game with Cain
I had Brett finish off the talking lesson before letting them have some fun.
Fortunately learning to talk only slightly lowers the fun bar so a quick ride on the spring rider was enough to top it up before continuing with skilling.
When they were done it was straight on the potty for Rory!
When Niall walked through the room he rolled a wish to pick up his baby brother. He also rolled a wish to use the stroller when he woke.
I let Brett take a break from toddler skilling so Rory could get started on his xylophone skill.
I saw that Cain had rolled a wish to catch a bug. There were no active spawners nearby so I teleported him to a butterfly spawner which seems to be reliably active
I got a good chuckle when I found Niall dancing with his dad
I totally missed the kids leaving for a field trip to the theatre. Mikezumi was the chaperone and one other child attended but I didn't hang around to see them come out as the kids were about to board the bus.
Greg got started on the walking lesson after he had his dance break
The kids missed out on Scouts because of the field trip.
Lachie came home with a wish to find a gem and Kenna is on the phone to a school friend she wanted to hang out with.
Morna got home late because of Shop class. She rolled a wish to learn the handiness skill just before Shop started I love easy wishes
I got a Prom notice and of course Morna rolled a wish to go. I invited Oliver Mullis, Tam's son, over. They are second cousins but it was the best I could do given the small population and the number of related sims in town. Besides, if the game doesn't count them as blood, it's good enough for me
Lachie also had a wish to catch a perfect minnow locked in so I sent him fishing. I didn't realize Niall and Cain had started another game of catch.
I knew that Oliver would be Morna's partner since they were toddlers so his traits are compatible with hers
When Brett finished with the walking lesson and had fed Rory he went to the rocking chair. He is so lost without Fife He didn't get to rock long because it was time for dinner.
I have no idea how long I will have Brett for now that Rory has been born so the family had his favourite, stir fry.
Niall and Cain made a beeline for the treehouse after dinner and Oliver made a move on Morna!
Lachie asked Grandpa Brett for a game of catch so I sent Kenna fishing so she wouldn't bother Brett or Morna. She rolled a couple of fish wishes which were easy to grant
Oliver instigated this but Morna didn't say no
The boys watched the stars after they were done in the treehouse
I sent Brett inside to keep Rory company for a while before putting him to bed.
When I saw Morna heading for the easel I thought that Oliver might be doing his homework. I had seen him try to take out his notebook a couple of times.
But he was at Euan's tombstone. Euan was his grandpa
Sam arrived just before I closed my game
@Mikezumi , Not even going to try to keep up with the big thread anymore! Will be leaving feedback for you here, I did peek ahead and saw you didn’t get the ghost baby.. I was hoping you would...
Lachie's evil facial expressions are absolutely priceless! Can't wait to see how he looks when he grows up. I'm also eager to see how Rory will look when he's older.
Also, I think you forgot to update the Family Photos thread when Lachie had his birthday.
@Charlottesmom I was also hoping for a ghost baby but wait until you see this boy grown up! I would have missed his cuteness as a ghost
@afai1261 Thank you It's been a little while since I played an evil sim so when he rolled it at birth I decided to roll with it
I didn't update the Family Photos thread because I had to wait a day because Brett was in labor at the time I normally gather the family for the photos. I am about to update the Family Photo thread now

Niall got started on potty training Lachie.
Brett finally got his masterpiece!
Although he was tired, Lachie played with a toy. But not for long as I sent Cain in to get him settled for the night.

I heard sobbing and saw that Brett was close enough to be woken by Euan's passing. The rest of the family missed it fortunately.
I thought Euan looked happy despite having died.
He went willingly. He probably wanted to join Greg
Beathan came just before I closed my game.

He lived a great life, I'm happy he had so many adventures. :-D

Niall got Lachie up and ready for the day
Bodiless Brett was craving cookies. It's a good thing I couldn't see the cookies going through his body
Brett also had a wish to get a massage. Since that is a romantic interaction (very short-sighted in my opinion since backaches are experienced by single people as well), I was glad to see that I had at least one pregnancy enabled elder outfit when he spun into his clothes.
Morna's waking wish was to find a gem ... easy!
Kenna's waking wish was to have a tea party with her teddy
Cain and Niall did the gardening. I will have Morna plant some seeds when she becomes a teen.
The boys finished the gardening quickly and I found them flirting. I had to break them up because Lachie needed training and has only one day left as a toddler.
I sent the girls to the big park
Cain got first stroll. Niall was inside making more cookies to replace what had been eaten.
Gosh, he looks so much like Cain although I know he is a good blend when he grows up. It might just be the hair colour that gives me that impression.
When the cookies were made and Cain had had his stroll, I sent the boys to the park. Brett was still getting a massage and would join the family later. As soon as they arrived, Cain made a beeline for a mirror so he could gussy up. I had forgotten that flirty sims do this.

Cain chatted with Brett when he arrived.
I saw that other sims had arrived at the park so I had the girls introduce themselves. Kenna introduced herself to Bert (Elspet's son) and Morna introduced herself to Bert's wife, Dianne.
Bert and Dianne's daughters, Melissa and Donna, were also there.
When the talking lessons were done, Niall got his stroll wish
I saw Kenna's fun bar going down and discovered that Dianne was tutoring her. Her face spoke volumes!
Elder and pregnant, Brett has still got it!
Once his stroll was done, I sent the grown ups home so Niall could finish off Lachie's potty training.
I sent the girls to see a movie.

Brett had been painting but Cain interrupted him to debate politics.
Here's a shot I don't have to censor!
I couldn't see anything but Cain obviously could
When Kenna got home she went straight to the piano. She didn't enjoy the chick flick.
Morna chatted with Niall when she got back. She did enjoy the movie.
Cain rolled a wish to visit the theatre. I knew if I teleported the boys they would have just enough time before Morna's birthday.
As soon as the boys got home, I had everyone gather around the cake.
She's got Cain's big jaw, but she is beautiful

When Morna aged up, Niall rolled a wish to enrol her in an afterschool activity. While he was doing that, Cain filled Lachie's social bar
The boys had time to watch the stars before they, too, had their birthdays.
Brett finished another brilliant painting I think this one will go in the girls' room
Kenna mastered the block table skill while playing with her brother
Niall went first!
Pigtails!
Then it was Cain's turn.
When Brett finished his painting he went inside to dance
Cain got Lachie ready for bed
Morna talked about art with her grandpa
Euan and Greg visited. Euan arrived a few minutes before Greg so got the rocking chair.
Greg took it in his stride and danced instead
I heard another ghost arriving. It was John It will be fun to see what they get up to when I restart my game

Euan was still in the rocker and Greg was still dancing when I loaded my save and John had made his way to the basketball hoop.
When I checked on Euan and Greg again, Euan had been haunting in one of the bedrooms and Greg was dancing in a different position so had probably done some haunting of his own.
Greg checked on his brother, Brett
Euan trained Jordan on the weight machine!
Greg and John chatted
Niall got Lachie up and ready for his last morning as a toddler while Cain made the bed.
I dressed Brett on his way to breakfast because his floating head is a little disturbing He was craving grilled cheese
I saw the family had a negative moodlet from a smelly sim and realized it was Jordan who had passed them on his way to the shower. Euan must have trained him hard! I heard the shower breaking when he was done. At least Cain gained the handiness skill when he repaired it later in the morning
Niall's waking wish was to grow a perfect bell pepper plant.
Brett had a wish to get a massage so I sent him to the spa.
Morna's waking wish was to fish and Kenna's was to have a sleepover. I cancelled that and sent her fishing with her sister in the hope it would trigger a fish related wish.
Cain worked on the garden while Niall took Lachie for a stroll.
It annoys me when they won't take their eyes of a dead plant because I don't like to remove it until they do.

Apart from the hair, it wasn't too bad!
But much better when I was done with him
Cain had been on his way to the board breaker when Lachie was having his birthday. I sent Lachie out to chat with him since he has a lower relationship with Cain than he does with Niall.
When Niall interrupted their conversation for some loving, I sent Lachie fishing.
Brett joined him at the fishing pond when he returned from the spa. He has a wish to catch 5 different fish locked in. Niall and Cain were entertaining each other
They went from the treehouse to the tent!

I had Lachie distract his fathers before they found another woohoo location
Morna came home early as her after school class doesn't start until tomorrow. I was glad because she wanted to learn how to drive.
Cain's waking wish was to prepare a meal. I had him prepare some fish and chips, his favourite, for another time. The family has the culinary career fridge so their food never goes off
I'd sent Lachie over the road because he had several fish wishes and I couldn't be bothered replacing the spawner in the home pond. I could see Niall dancing through the window
Poor thing didn't get to dance long because Morna had finished her homework and asked him for driving lessons.
Morna got her licence in one go!
When Lachie got his fishing wishes, I sent him home and he asked Cain for a game of catch.
Be careful, Cain. This one is evil and might get you back one day!
When Brett finished his masterpiece he went inside to dance
When Morna got back from her driving lesson, I had her prepare a salad to get started on the cooking skill.
Naughty Lachie came inside to scare Grandpa Brett!
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

I had Brett teach Lachie a lesson
The family had hamburgers, Lachie and Niall's favourite, for dinner
Brett had just sat down in the rocking chair when Morna asked him to play catch. I was glad she did that because it makes me sad when he uses it.
Euan and Cain watched the stars
Kenna and Lachie played tag. I laughed when I saw Lachie pulled this face immediately after tagging Kenna
I found the boys watching the stars again when I followed the kids when they went to play catch.
I'd sent Brett to bed very early because I knew he would be up in the middle of the night. He went into labor just before I saved and closed my game at 3am.

He arrived very hungry but otherwise in good shape
It's good to see Brett back in his usual (visible) sleepwear
Lachie's waking wish was to visit the park. Kenna didn't have a waking wish but rolled a wish to play tag with Lachie over breakfast. I sent them both to the park and both got their wishes
I had Morna plant some seeds to unhide the gardening skill she got from Scouts. There were only two plants so Niall did the gardening on his own.
I have no idea why, but Cain rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend when Rory was born.
After planting the seeds, Morna got her waking wish to fish
As soon as the waking wishes were taken care of, Rory was aged up. Random blonde hair is a definite NO!
I gave him Brett's hair colour with the Consort Hair Colour mod. I was happy to see it gave him Brett's original hair colour which isn't as washed out as his elder hair After looking at his original age up picture again, while typing my update, I realize that the hair might not be random after all. One of Brett's mothers had blonde hair as she was a gender swapped and tweaked version of my Spike sim. Still, I have no regrets as Fife had black hair and the chances of him fathering a blonde baby would be pretty slim.
After Brett filled his fun bar he got started on toddler skilling
I'd lost track of Cain and Niall. I know they had snuck a woohoo in but I was busy with Brett and Rory. I found them playing catch which was a good thing since Niall's waking wish was to play a game with Cain
I had Brett finish off the talking lesson before letting them have some fun.

When they were done it was straight on the potty for Rory!
When Niall walked through the room he rolled a wish to pick up his baby brother. He also rolled a wish to use the stroller when he woke.
I let Brett take a break from toddler skilling so Rory could get started on his xylophone skill.
I saw that Cain had rolled a wish to catch a bug. There were no active spawners nearby so I teleported him to a butterfly spawner which seems to be reliably active
I got a good chuckle when I found Niall dancing with his dad
I totally missed the kids leaving for a field trip to the theatre. Mikezumi was the chaperone and one other child attended but I didn't hang around to see them come out as the kids were about to board the bus.
Greg got started on the walking lesson after he had his dance break

Lachie came home with a wish to find a gem and Kenna is on the phone to a school friend she wanted to hang out with.
Morna got home late because of Shop class. She rolled a wish to learn the handiness skill just before Shop started I love easy wishes
I got a Prom notice and of course Morna rolled a wish to go. I invited Oliver Mullis, Tam's son, over. They are second cousins but it was the best I could do given the small population and the number of related sims in town. Besides, if the game doesn't count them as blood, it's good enough for me
Lachie also had a wish to catch a perfect minnow locked in so I sent him fishing. I didn't realize Niall and Cain had started another game of catch.
I knew that Oliver would be Morna's partner since they were toddlers so his traits are compatible with hers
When Brett finished with the walking lesson and had fed Rory he went to the rocking chair. He is so lost without Fife He didn't get to rock long because it was time for dinner.
I have no idea how long I will have Brett for now that Rory has been born so the family had his favourite, stir fry.
Niall and Cain made a beeline for the treehouse after dinner and Oliver made a move on Morna!
Lachie asked Grandpa Brett for a game of catch so I sent Kenna fishing so she wouldn't bother Brett or Morna. She rolled a couple of fish wishes which were easy to grant
Oliver instigated this but Morna didn't say no
The boys watched the stars after they were done in the treehouse
I sent Brett inside to keep Rory company for a while before putting him to bed.
When I saw Morna heading for the easel I thought that Oliver might be doing his homework. I had seen him try to take out his notebook a couple of times.
But he was at Euan's tombstone. Euan was his grandpa
Sam arrived just before I closed my game

Also, I think you forgot to update the Family Photos thread when Lachie had his birthday.
@afai1261 Thank you It's been a little while since I played an evil sim so when he rolled it at birth I decided to roll with it
I didn't update the Family Photos thread because I had to wait a day because Brett was in labor at the time I normally gather the family for the photos. I am about to update the Family Photo thread now
